that's one of the reasons we keep our seat down!! one of cats drinks the water from puddles, the top of the compost bin lid, the sinks and the bath. she also drinks it from my glasses of water and vases-with the flowers in! she does drink from her own bowl too, of course!
next doors cat drinks from their birdbath, leaving their tail in the water as they do so.
one of my mum and dad's cats drinks from their pond....
